Caribbean and Bahamas: Buyer's Choice Southern Caribbean Cruise

Royal Caribbean®

Visiting Puerto Rico's 500-year-old capital, San Juan is a history buff's dream come true. The Spanish settled this harbor as a New World home base, and that influence is still evident, from the fortress walls lining the coastline to the rainbow of colonial buildings along narrow streets. St. Thomas may technically be part of the U.S., but with its colorful markets, unspoiled beaches, and the ever-present sound of steel drums, you'll feel a world away. What makes St. Maarten so unique is its blend of cultures. The island is home to 120 different nationalities speaking over 80 languages and is governed by two countries: the Netherlands and France. In fact, it's the smallest land mass in the world to be shared by two different nations. Cruise to St. Croix and discover plenty of Victorian Dutch architecture and charming colonial churches in Frederiksted and Christiansted. Roseau is electric with cultural energy. The spicy aroma of Creole home cooking wafts through food stalls at the Roseau Market. You'll find Bridgetown strikes a fine mix of island warmth and English heritage. Stately colonial buildings intermingle with colorful wooden homes, open-air markets, and catch-of-the-day cafes. Outside of the bustle of "Town," as the locals call it, Barbados is a new kind of paradise in any direction.
